Launching WaBetainfo, Facebook said that a configuration change caused the service to be unavailable to some users in some areas. The company claims that Facebook and Instagram services are recovering quickly.

This isn't the first time Facebook's two services have crashed simultaneously. In March last year, a similar complaint had occurred, many users reported Instagram pop-up "error" or "couldn't refresh".
